Retinol 0.2% in Squalane

product review positives
Application It's an oil based serum, so it takes more time to absorb and it leaves a greasy feeling. I personally do not consider it a huge drawback, because your're supposed to use it in the evening. Experience It didn't cause me any purging, even weeks after using it. Still, I did not notice any benefits form the retinol, like smoother skin or faded pigmentation, which makes me doubt the efficacy of the formulation. The squalene oil felt very nourishing, but that was the only benefit I got from this serum.
product review negatives
PAO of 3 months is to short. I didn't see any improvements in my skin.

this is probably too low a dosage, but perfect for people like me with super sensitive skin that want to begin using retinol. that PAO is truly bad though. thereโ€™s a study that was done that showed Paulaโ€™s Choice and The Ordinaryโ€™s retinol expire much more quickly than others :/
